Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef (organic, grass-fed, 85% lean)
1 tbsp olive oil (organic, extra virgin)
1/2 red onion (diced, large)
1 red bell pepper (diced)
1 zucchini (diced)
10 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tsp garlic (minced)
2 tsp oregano (dry)
2 tsp basil (dry)
1 tsp cumin (ground)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 lemon
1 1/2 tsp Salt (or to taste)
1 tsp pepper (or to taste)
1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled, optional for topping)
Fresh parsley, lemon zest, tzatziki, and hummus for topping

Instructions

1
Sauté the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 6–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned.
2
Add Veggies: Stir in the diced onion, red bell pepper, zucchini, and garlic. Cook for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are softened and fragrant & the beef is fully cooked.
3
Season the Stir Fry: Sprinkle in oregano, basil, cumin, paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for 1–2 more minutes to bloom the spices.
4
Finish with Tomatoes & Lemon: Add the cherry tomatoes and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
5
Top and Serve: Turn off the heat. Sprinkle with crumbled feta (if using). Serve with fresh parsley, lemon zest, and a generous dollop of tzatziki or hummus on top.
